I'm David Friedman, a professional photographer who sometimes gets ideas for photos, designs, gadgets, and other projects. I write about it all on this blog. You can find the meaning behind the name “Ironic Sans” back in the very first post.

[What is this?]
[This post is part of an idea dump.]
I’d like to see a family portrait, perhaps painted in an old Victorian style, that depicts the following people:
Charlie Brown, Mr. Brown (from Reservoir Dogs), Buster Brown, Molly Brown (the unsinkable), Encyclopedia Brown, James Brown, Gordon Brown, Bobby Brown, and Mr. Brown from the Dr. Suess book about the man who can moo.
Update: And Doc Brown.

This blog is typeset in Georgia, Times New Roman, or Times, in that order of priority based on what fonts are installed on your computer, or whatever standard serif font is installed if none of the above. The exceptions are the main title, which is based roughly on Baskerville Old Face, and the handwritten parts which are, well, my handwriting.

I can’t believe you didn’t include Doc Brown!

I may not paint, but I will try to digitally enact this idea.
Someday.
I will write you when it’s done.

It would have to be done in sepia.

What about Father Brown?

I’ve always wanted to see Jack Black and Jack White get together and record a cover of Ebony & Ivory.
